Abstract

Pristipomoides argyrogrammicus commonly known as 'Velameen', was found to occur along the south-west coast of India within the depth range of 75 and 150 m. A brief study was made on the fishery potential of this species based on the bobbins trawl operations of the trawlers of Integrated Fisheries Project. Attempts were also made to study the food and feeding habits, length frequency distribution, age group, length-weight relationship, sex and sex ratio.
